I will definitely be renewing mine, I understand what you mean about DLC but for me its all about the games that I get with Gamepass which I would absolutely never had bought normally. Stuff like Void B*****ds , Dead Cells, Gears 5 , Forza 4 and so on, theres no way I would have put my hand in my pocket and bought any of those and yet I've had a lot of fun with them and I'm sure there will be many more down the road which will turn out to be unexpected fun to me which I'd never have bought.

Yeah exactly the same here, it's great to play and enjoy games I would never had bought otherwise. It is a shame about DLC though, as you can miss out on the full experience.
I don’t think I’ve paid more than £6 for the six months I’ve had so far, so as long as you can get it cheap as chips, I’ll keep subscribing.

Thats fair NZXT30 I just feel like a lot of dlc for most games is crap. There is a few great expansions and some absolutely essential ones but there isn't many games on Game Pass at last where i'd say you missing out.

You could always just buy Gold and convert it to Ultimate if they are still doing that
It's only a few hours to go before Gears 5 unlocks, I'm not overly fussed as I don't have an Xbox to make use of the Ultimate Pass. Ta, though.
I've never played any of the gears games, but quite tempted as I like a good shooter and figured I may as well as it's included. However does it matter that I haven't played the previous games, I'm guessing it's not a game series where the story is that important, but I've no idea really?

What time does Gears 5 unlock on XGP?
It was unlocked from last Thursday, you can play it now. I have been.
Oh...just noticed it needed ultimate not standard XGP.
Only for those with the ultimate pass. For normal game pass it will be this evening at 9pm.
I hadn't played a gears game for YEARS since I booted up Gears 4 this weekend. I barely remembered any of the story, but Gears 4 story was quite self contained, with some nods to the previous entries for those that played them.
Gears 5 has a 'Previously on' section where you can quickly get a rundown on Gears 4. I would recommend starting from Gears 4 if you are not going to start from 1.
Thanks, looks like 4 is included in the game pass as well so I may as well start there.
Thanks, it converted the 3 months standard i had, now have 9 months Ultimate. Also has Xbox gold
For future reference it's just the location in control panel you change.
I did post in the gears thread earlier didnt know people in this one were asking.

Playing this with a mate on experienced difficulty as we played GoW 4 before on normal but he hasn't played any others.
Enjoying it. Looks fantastic, especially with HDR and runs very well on my rig at 4k, everything to max (expect motion blur) but I do have the minimum 60 FPS option on but to be fair I don't really notice drops in quality or anything as i'm sitting on my sofa about 7 feet from a 65" OLED.
Gameplay wise its familiar, which isn't bad as its very refined now. The 'open world' aspects aren't great, the Skif parts I find quite dull but not sure if they get better as not finished it yet, think Act 2 Chapter 2. We don't really follow the story but just try and enjoy good challenging combat which this has, level design is interesting aside from the Skif parts and it is just generally good fun to play.
We haven't touched the multiplayer or other modes yet so will see but for £2 for 2 months to play it plus whatever else on gamepass its completely worth it.

The current selection of games of Game Pass PC is quite limited and the Microsoft Store platform is buggy for me. But I can't really complain. The price makes it a steal
Yeah there's not really anything on there I want to play that I wouldn't just play on the Xbox anyway. The only one was Wasteland but it keeps breaking saves. Still I got 3 years for a quid so can't complain. Hopefully they have some more decent PC only games and sort the app out.
